Wow. Honestly not sure what to say about this movie, past calling it beautiful, inside and out. I kinda can't believe it's a debut feature. Another great film in a series of great recent films about the gentrification of the Bay Area and conflicts of race and masculinity that come with the desire to push back against it.
Took me a bit to warm up to this and just how different it is. Truly a breath of fresh air both in it’s story and filmmaking. It’s very dense and there’s a lot that happened so I might have to revisit this the next time I get the chance but man. Great performances, great ending, and the music.....god DAMN.
he was a sk8er boy he said fuck society dis huge ass house is mine and my totally platonic best friends', boys
Beautiful, funny and very different... has a real signature. Can't wait to see what Joe Talbot does next. Not sure I love the script but I enjoyed the ride. Perhaps I felt the SF love was poured on a bit thick but it is a love letter to the city so it's appropriate.
Beautiful score by Emile Mosseri
and props to casting director Julia Kim (Starlet) for a very dynamic cast.

“you don’t get to hate it unless you love it”
stylistically new but also so familiar, like a long forgotten classic lost in the pages of history. every shot is a breath of fresh air, it almost feels like the first real film i’ve seen all year. i’m stunned
San Francisco has always been a city with a short memory. The fog rolls over the hills during the late afternoon, wiping the slate clean as it sweeps over the bay. The Earth shakes every so often, dislodging anything that got too comfortable where it was. The Japanese used to be the most visible immigrant population until the U.S. government decided to forcibly relocate them to internment camps that were scattered across the western seaboard. “Vertigo” is set there, because no American city is more attuned to the fear of rotational moment. So is Philip Kaufman’s “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” a horror movie about a health inspector who slowly discovers that he’s being surrounded by alien duplicates. Today, the…
as i left the theater the usher asked me how it was and i hope my response of good paired with my bloodshot eyes from crying didn’t send the wrong message

A film with a staggering first half and a deflating, jumbled coda. So many ideas and so little exploration or nuance to unpacking them. Much of what makes the film great - a play in progress, the physical and spatial reconfiguration brought on by gentrification - doesn't allow for the other details and subplots to flourish. What remains, then, is an involving and gentle story of friendship and memory's affect, lingering along the shoreline. Solid film.
“People aren’t one thing.”
There’s a film that comes along every once in a great long while that just makes you rethink everything, not the least of which being your perspective on life and your perspective on film. After I finished watching the credits, I just sat with my mouth agape, tears streaming down my face. As soon as I went to bed, I put on the soundtrack and cried some more as soon as the opening notes were heard. Joe Talbot, Jimmie Fails, and Jonathan Majors, along with everyone else who worked on this masterpiece, have crafted what is easily the greatest film of the year, and quite simply one of the best I’ve ever seen.

"The Last Black Man In San Francisco", the debut feature film from co-writer and director, Joe Talbot, is a haunting and soulful look at a young man trying to regain his sense of home (literally and figuratively) in a city that is shifting and leaving a large part of the population displaced in it's wake. This winner at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival for Best Director and a Special Jury Award for Creator Collaboration tells the story of Jimmie Fails (played by Jimmie Fails who co-created the story with Talbot and is loosely based on his life) who is obssessed with a Victorian home in the Bay Area his family once owned that his grandfather had built. A white family…
The Last Black Man in San Francisco is a poignant but moving story of one’s attempts to combat gentrification in San Francisco. With beautifully bright cinematography, a mesmerizing score from Emile Mosseri and heartbreaking performances from Jonathan Majors and Jimmie Fails, the film is undeniably beautiful both in spectacle and substance, even if the screenplay felt a little loose in the film’s second half.
Verdict: 8.5/10 (Excellent)
This film is really beautiful and almost makes you tear up from it. Amazing performances on top of thid also adds to the human soul of tye film.
8-9/10
A gorgeously shot, wonderfully scored, brilliantly acted movie. Confidently made.
